He could do that in an email or by phone.

Foreign leaders have great nostalgia for an American President who could speak English fluently, had an IQ over 85, and wasn't a puppet of the Russians, now called the good old days.

So, what is the purpose of his trip?
What is the purpose of anyone's trips?

I doubt that any of the people that Obama is meeting are dumb enough to think that he is still president, and is representing the US in some official capacity.

No, it isn't.

Private citizens meet with foreign leaders all the time - for example, Donald Trump and various trade officials around the world.

So, that means Trump is crappy, since Clinton was a crappy candidate, and Trump was the result of her crappiness.

Just because someone has something forced into them doesn't mean they are accomplished at forcing it into others. The teacher and the student, post and the post hole, are not the same. When you give President Trump a warn welcome make sure the cameras are rolling. Proof will be required.
Trying to sling garbage like that is a key sign you have no rebuttal.

Course, nobody has yet to provide any proof that this thread has any merit and isnt some snowflake crying about Obama being free to do whatever he wants.

I actually miss GW after seeing trump.

I was reading over something trump was saying to the coast guard the other day. I don't know what to make of it. It's like he's in his own world. Just incoherent babbling. I couldn't finish. Kind of like a dog in a field full of squirrels while compulsively trying to lick is own nuts.

Can you imagine the outcry if it was Putin coming over here a week before the elections.

Of course you who only watch CNN and MSNBC are not being shown these receptions, or the contrast between them and Obama's visits.
Yeah, Kim sure respected him today when he launched that ballistic missile today.

He probably planted video and recordings ahead of time, and went there to retrieve them so he can give it to the media to twist and turn every little thing as much as they can.
